eBay has quietly launched in international classified site Kijiji in U.S., in an attempt to compete against Craigslist and others. Kijiji was launched overseas in February 2005, and until now, was available in certain countries in Europe and Asia, as well as in Canada, but not in the U.S. The look and feel of the site is similar to Craigslist, and even the categories in there. For now, anyone can post an ad for free, though the company plans to explore charging for display ads or premium services for sellers. eBay in 2004 bought close to a 25 percent stake in Craigslist from a former Craigslist employee.http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-ebay-open-classifieds-site-kijiji-in-us/
